# Marvin Pourié

Marvin Pourié (born 8 January 1991) is a German professional footballer who plays as a forward for fifth-tier Oberliga Westfalen club Rot Weiss Ahlen.

## Club career

Pourié arrived at the Liverpool Academy from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2007 and scored 12 goals in his first year with the Under-18s.

### Schalke 04 and loans

On 5 January 2009, Pourié transferred back to Germany, signing a contract with first division club Schalke 04. His contract with Schalke was due to end on 30 June 2013.
Immediately after arriving at Schalke he was loaned out to 2. Bundesliga club TSV 1860 Munich until the end of the 2010–11 season.
Schalke general manager Andreas Müller said of the new striker: "Marvin is a talented player who will now get some match practice at a higher level. The aim is for him to find his feet in the professional game and hopefully he'll come on well. Schalke and 1860 Munich are great clubs with a long tradition. I'm delighted the move has worked out. My aim is to play as many games as possible."
Pourié made his professional debut in a third round 2008–09 DFB-Pokal match for 1860 Munich against Hamburger SV on 27 January 2009. He made his league debut on 22 February 2009, starting in a 4–1 loss in the 2. Bundesliga to MSV Duisburg.
After several undisciplined acts, Pourié was dropped from the squad on 24 April 2009 by then coach Uwe Wolf. When he was then sacked with two games to go and replaced by Ewald Lienen, Pourié returned to the squad, but he did not make it into the 18 players nominated for the remaining matches. On 31 August 2009, he returned on loan to 1860 Munich, but he would only play for the under-19-team in the U-19-Bundesliga. On 27 January 2010, his club 1860 Munich terminated his contract and Pourie returned to Schalke 04. A day later, Schalke loaned him out again, this time to TuS Koblenz.

He scored two goals away against Newtown and three days later he scored the opening goal of the 2–1 win, away, against Esbjerg fB.
